Linux 2.6.25-rc5 Kernel Released

We're getting very close to the release of the Linux 2.6.25 kernel. A few hours ago Linus Torvalds pushed out the Linux 2.6.25-rc5 kernel. Linux 2.6.25-rc5 is smaller than the earlier RC kernels and is mostly composed of architecture changes and then smaller alterations across the Linux kernel spectrum. A SCSI update is also sizable in this release. The release announcement can be read at LKML.org.
